Where to Get Salty Dog Beef Sausages in Escape from Tarkov

Salty Dog Beef Sausages found a new use in Escape from Tarkov’s patch 0.16. A Christmas Dinner quest requires players to submit 5 Salty Dog Beef Sausages, which will be a tough task since they are quite rare. However, there’s a trick to getting these items, and here’s how to get Salty Dog Sausages fast in Escape from Tarkov.

How to Get Salty Dog Beef Sausages in Escape from Tarkov

Salty Dog Beef Sausages is a “rare” food spawn occasionally appearing in random ration loot spawns. Knowing how these Sausages spawn is confusing because some food spots only spawn canned goods, like the Goshan grocery in Interchange.

Luckily, the Christmas Dinner event also spawns Christmas Trees all over the maps in Escape from Tarkov. These Christmas Trees give valuable loot, such as Bronze Lions, Cat Figurines, and everything involved in the Christmas Dinner quest, including Mayos, Salty Dog Beef Sausages, Whiskey, Vodka, and Peas.

All you have to do is go to the Christmas Tree spot on each map and get all these items for your quest. You must look at the ground or on top of the gifts to find these Sausages. They could also spawn on the ledge of the tiny huts.

It is also very profitable to rush these Christmas Tree spots, but you’ll have to memorize them and ensure you are the closest spawn to them since other players will also rush to them.

You can try the shelves in all the grocery stores in Streets of Tarkov for spots that aren’t Christmas Tree loot spawns.

What Are Salty Dog Beef Sausages Used For in Escape from Tarkov?

Apart from using these Sausages to fill up your energy, they are also used for quests:

• 1 for Delicious Sausage
• 5 for Christmas Dinner
• 1 for Provocation

However, before submitting them for quests like Delicious Sausage, you might want to focus on handing them over for Christmas Dinner first because it could be a limited-time event in patch 0.16. You need the following for the Christmas Dinner quest:

• Hand over 5 Salty Dog Beef Sausages
• Hand over 5 Can of Green Peas
• Hand over 5 Jar of DevilDog Mayo
• Hand over 1 Bottle of Tarkovskaya Vodka
• Hand over 1 Bottle of Dan Jackiel Whiskey
• Hand over 3 Jar of Pickles

As mentioned, these are common drops in Christmas Tree spots, so it’ll take a while to finish.

Outside of quests, some players use the Sausages to barter for a Grizzly Kit from Jaeger. You only need one Sausage and one Army Cracker.
